make this election the
year of the #ClimateVoter
With less than two weeks remaining before an election that will have a big impact on climate change policy, CCL volunteers are enthusiastically engaged in voting early and encouraging others to cast their ballots. Whether mailing or dropping off their absentee ballots or participating in early voting, our volunteers are sharing photos of themselves (above) on social media with the hashtag #ClimateVoter. CCLers are also helping to increase the turnout from voters who are concerned about climate change by volunteering with the Environmental Voter Project. “EVP's mission to increase voter turnout, particularly of environmentally minded people, resonated with me,” said CCL volunteer Courtney Parks. “My calls are a powerful action to provide people with information to make the voting process easier and safer.” More than 50 CCL chapters have participated in voter outreach with EVP, and there are more opportunities available in the home stretch of this election. “CCL volunteers have been such valuable assets on our team so far this year,” says Shannon Seigal, EVP’s Organizing Director. Share your #ClimateVoter pics on social media and read more about CCLers who are getting out the climate vote in our latest blog post.
